COLUMBUS, Ind. — The Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation Foundation is raising funds to replace the bronze statue that was stolen from the administration building on Central Avenue. Puddles was reported missing in September 2012 and has never been found. The companion bronze work, Frog Pond was damaged and will be repaired too. The fund raising effort also includes some added security features to prevent the art from being stolen again.
Ethan Crough says local artist Linda Peterson is working on a bronze replacement. Installation could be as early as next spring. For information call 812-378-4733.
